[@jamesoliver6625]

No. Too slow. The Previn with the Vienna from about 1993 is the best. Previn had a better understanding of where you let the brass have the show. Video director is clueless at 26:50 and on as to where the focus of the orchestra is. One of the signature homages to Franz Strauss in all of Richard's work and this clown is panning the orchestra, Third trombone is too timid but I blame Andrés. Mehta had the idea in the 60s to out schmaltz the Vienna with the LA Phil, but went too far on this piece (he hit the Sinfonia Domestica perfectly). 25 years later Previn nailed it.

Weltklasse! This Symphony is one of the Most Complex-orchestrated Symphony. R. Strauss is one of the Greatest Composer.

[@honda412000]

For the first time I was able to hear what is happening in every second of this complex piece of music without following the score. The clarity and articulation are unsurpassable. Estrada "draws" the music in the air for the (superb) musicians to follow. I'm becoming in awe (not in shock) of this amazing orchestra and this maestro. Long live good music well played!

[@arteguey]

Just a point of information: In the latino way, a person's last name is in the form os his father's family name followed by his mother's family name. In the case of this Colombian conductor, his should be addressed as Andrés Orozco-Estrada, or just Andrés Orozco or Mr. Orozco, but never Mr. Estrada.

This is the first time I have heard this excellent symphony....and I listened to it again immediately afterwards. Stupendous live performance that leaves me almost speechless.

[@stevereade4858]

R Strauss ... what an orchestral chameleon! Operas, symphonies, lieder, tone poems, chamber works. How extraordinary! Gotta' say the storm and torrents of wind are remarkably vivid and ... even frightening, if you've ever been in the Alps during one (I have). If they played this 1/2 or 1/3rd the times they played the Suite from Der Rosenkavalier, Strauss would be way more popular and better known than now.

[@ablack7777]

As someone, a tiny bit of a pianist and a clarinetist, who over my many years has had a number of musical heroes, Richard Strauss being a very early one. But of all his many compositions, including Four Last Songs, I actually knew little of The Alpine Symphony. But now here I am returning and discovering this remarkable creation for the first time! And the more I listen I am believing this may be his greatest, and most emblematic of this truly great man. And what a fantastic performance, could I have arrived at a better place?!! I just want to stay here for a while and soak it in, and who knows, maybe learn a little bit more about myself? Thank you Richard and Andres....

Every single note, every chord valuable in its own way. I wish the whole world knew this music, what a different world it would be?

[@timmellin2815]

Oh...you are a man of my own heart......I, too, loved Strauss, but when I heard Alpine Symphony, I listened to a recording first to familiarize myself w/ it, and so I was prepared to see it live for the first time w/ San Francisco Symphony, many years ago......really great to sit right behind the orchestra and be on top of all that orgasm of sound, and believe me.....that close the sound takes on an almost semi fluid energy that just envelops everyone.
